Title: No briefing/techroom animations [Solved]
Post by: ReeNoiP on January 10, 2009, 08:59:24 am: I am running FSO 3.6.10 OpenGL mode and get no animations during briefings and when viewing weapons in the tech room.

The cutscenes work (intro etc.) after moving FS2OGGcutscenepack.vp to freespace 2/data/movies rather than /freespace 2.

I have the tango#_fs2 vps (placed in /freespace 2), but nothing shows up. Placing the tango#_fs2 vps in data/movies does not help. Any advise?

The game crashed after it finished loading the command briefing. I have attached the log.

Post by: Jeff Vader on January 11, 2009, 11:15:18 am: Hmm. Drawing a blank here. The only thing that catches my eye is that the game engine finds and reads a couple of .vp's in drive H:\.
Code: [Select]
Found root pack 'h:\tango1_fs2.vp' with a checksum of 0x4c25221e Found root pack 'h:\tangoA_fs2.vp' with a checksum of 0x2e10c984 Found root pack 'h:\warble_fs2.vp' with a checksum of 0xd85c305d

This is rather weird, since the game engine should read the cutscene .vp like any other .vp and it should work in \freespace2\.

Again, the game engine should have no problems reading the .vp files from \freespace2\. But if you want to try the same trick as with the cutscenes, \data\movies\ is the wrong folder. Try \data\cbanims\.

Moving the vp's to \data\cbanims worked for whatever reason. The reason the game found vps in H:\ was that I had one of the retail CDs in the drive. Thanks for the help.
